Columbia, Septemnber 28.-I am glad
to note from the papers that the col
leges are all opening well-Stiate an.i
decnomiinla-ional, It mleanIs t'lat Our
peop o ! e interested in the subject of
educa' ion. President eroinet' told inc
the other day that the prospect for a
good open'n;g at Newberry oin Monlda'
was Ilatteing. I want to see all tin
colleges (1o well, anld have not wanted
to pull down. I did oppose the build
ing of some of our State colleges be
cause I IItght we were inaking ltie
thinlg top heavy, b:ut when it became
Lhe settled policy of the State, and
they were built I did not care to Iiave
th .CIl injured or crippled. On the con
trary, I wanted to see them sneceed,
and I am glad they are suceeeding, and
I would not do one thinig to retard their
logress. I believe in building up and
rlot tearting down. But I do not like to

Farmers who intend to sow plenty of
wheat this year-and we hope all of
then iut itd to do it-should send to
President lartzog. of Clemson College,
for copies of the bulletins of the experi
mnt stalion there on oats and wheat.
They are sent free to any Citizen of this
State. The two ent stamp requirel to
ask for thern is all they cost. They tell
plainly the results from the use of the
diflferent varieties of seed and diierent
kinds of fertilizer and iethods of
preparation. Sei for thern now so
that you may begin the work for next
crop with the advantaga- of scien
tilie knowledge and actual exp'riment
and test.
I teneber that wheat has become a
cash crop here now. The roller inills
will take all that can be grown in this
part of the State.-G reenville News.
This is good advice to the farmers of
Newberry. We believe that one rea
son we have not mule good crops of
whe.tt has been that we did not use the
proper fertilizer or the right kind of
seed. We ai'e anxions to see our farm
es give wheat gt owing a good1 anl lion
e,t trial, even as it money crop . ILong
before we thought of Ibuilding roIle"
mills in Newhertry we urcu our farm
er"s to grow wheat for their own con
suniption. Ittt now, as the News so;
gests, wh cat will be as ready ioney
4rI,p as cotton. And why should it
not' We have four treller mills in this
coun ty and all of theiii make good flour
atnl we know they do not adulterate it.
We sh1oil be ;glad to see tbem run
iung all the tine. Those who have
built t hem will keep thaniim going if the
wh 'at is :r"ow n in this section and they
will pay the ca-h for the wheat, as

MINko Their Annual Report-Tiho
ltullding Must bo KnIarged for
thwDouuzdury Street School
-The Citizens' Meeting
and the Annatnl
Electioan.
According to previous notice in these
columns, the citizens' meeting to hear
the annual report of the Board of Trus
tees of the Newberry (iraded Schools,
was held in the Mayor s olice at the
opera house on Wednesday morning at
10 o'clock.
The attenidanec at the meeting was
too small to make it necessary to go
Into the opera house, and as the eight
chaiIs in the Mayor's ofliee would con
fortably accommodate all those pres
ent. they were invited into that oflice,
where the meeting was held.
Sometimes we find ourselves wonder
ing whether it is indifference, careless
ness, or sinply a lack of public inter
est on the part of the citizens, that
causes them to absent themselves from
meetin^gs which are called to consider
matters of grave ilnlportance to the
whole citizenThip of the city. Yet, we
are forced to the conclusion that it is
taken for granted by them that the
Graded School is a fixed institution in
the city, and that their presence are
not necessary.
hilis we believe is true. We have in
our Graded School one of the best in
the State. 'T'he Superintendent is a con
pf,tent and able educator and a good
disciplinarian and he has an eIlicient
corns of teachers as his assistants. The
Hoard of Titustees is composed of men
or ability business men of the city
meni who study every interest, of the
schools and their welfare, and under
whose guardianship the schools will
continule to grow and pvosper; yet they
would appreciatc being met on half
way grotunds by the citizens so that the
suggestions of iilprovenents on the
huildings and inl the schools ight not
fall on deaf cars, by siimply realing the
annual report, and recommendations to
empty chairs. We speak for the '.'irus
tees oil our oWII accotunht in this matter.
They have no complaint to o1ler' as we
know of. but these lieetings should lie
attended by soie'c.itizens at least, or
called o:f. What,'s the use to make re
ports and nobody present to report, to?
What's the ise to make rocoillnenda
tions and nobody present to act oil
thit-i
We would suggest that these citizens'
lleetitngs be doie away with. The an
iual reporlt can be published in the pa
pers, and when any one desires further
information, the Board would gladly
furnish it. Then this matter of holdt
ing an aiitnnuai election on the question
of the two-mill tax should he abolished
and the tax made permnanent, and we
are glad to see that sonic action on this
line is proposed.

The average attendance was of course
somewhat smaller than the above lg
ures: still some of the rooms were too
crowded. The Pirst Grade room was
full to overilu%wing-too full tot the best,
work i one teacher, and too full for
the complete ph,t"ical comfort of the
pupils.
It has been necessary for the past
three years to use the Library as -a
school-room for the Tenth Grade. This
grade Is usually small: but the Library
is too small for even a small number of
pupi 's to do good work in, and is other
wise unsuited for a school-room. It, Is
there the hooks of reference, as well as
the hooks for readincr, are kept, and it
ought at all tiner to be easily accessible
to any? pupii or teacher who wishes to
use it. It c:.nnot be so now without fre
quen t interr ' tions to the work of the
Tenth Grade.
'1'he plans suggest themselves to the
Ilert'd: either to secure a building of
th ree rooms in another locality suitable
for school purposes for the use of the
Iliigh Se ool Department, consisting of
the -:ighthi, Ninth and Te",l'i Grades,
or to enlarge the loundary S; reet build

rint"tS and aIl ttssemtbly roomii or attdito
riumt. The latter plan wolid provide
what is so tuucih needed-a place for the
cnt iro selool to assetmble daily fot open.

Ltcntertaitttiletis, lectures, etc. The
I ;oard has not felt autht oriczed be the eon
llition of the lioanccs to ima;ke the de
sired additiolt: bot calls thlie attention of
the citizens to te neel, hoping they
m1ay soon .eo their way open to under
take the work. Additional school room
is an itnperative neces:,ity of the near
futtute.
We believe the schools are necomt
1lishtintg il an ettient degt'ee the great
purpose of their establish ment---the ed
ueation and training of the children of
the commtunity, anl we ask the eartest
and hearty co-operation of all citizens in
our .telorts to bring their work up to the
very hiighest point of cllicieticy and use
filn-ss iit ainabl(: and int furtherance
of this end we most earnestly invito
the frequent inspection of te work
in of the schools by the patrons and
taxpayers.
The Iloar:a is pleased to be able to
state that since thei' last, annual report
they have ir' 'hased and rtieti"cd live
hundred dol.as woehi of the Ionds is
sied by the citizens for the purpose of
erecting the I;otulary Street. School
btildin(g, atld have thereby reduced the
intterest-beatring r.chool debt, of the dis
trict, by that atinouit.
'['The Board asks for a special tax of
2-mills, as nce"ssary for the taintain
ane of the schools the current, scholas
